Trump US Open Visit Sparks Security Delays, Mixed Fan Reactions

President Donald Trump's attendance at the U.S. Open men's final in Queens sparked significant security delays and elicited mixed reactions from attendees, including boos and cheers. The heightened Secret Service protocols caused long lines and forced the United States Tennis Association to delay the match's start by 30 minutes, although many fans remained outside when play began. Trump was a guest of Rolex and was seated alongside the company's CEO and other officials, despite his administration's imposition of high tariffs on Swiss products. Organizers requested broadcasters avoid showing disruptions related to Trump's presence, aiming to minimize negative exposure during the broadcast. The event underscored the polarizing effect of Trump's public appearances, as well as his ongoing strategy of emphasizing high-profile sports events to maintain visibility. Despite the disruptions and mixed crowd responses, Trump appeared focused on the match, reacting minimally to game highlights.
